RL Needs to remove Multi Accounts | Forums

[RetiredRonin]

snason still needs fixing though.

...Maybe something fishy is going on, but until we find proof that it's cheating then we aren't going to wipe the scores...

not maybe, definitely.

By that I meant "maybe he purposefully cheated".

right, well I doubt very much thats the case but it still should be a priority in terms of leaderboard integrity.

Unfortunately multi-accounting is something that is very hard to prove and it is generally our policy to not clear a player's scores unless we are 100% sure they are cheating in some way. You may feel pretty confident that you know which accounts are multi-accounts but that isn't proof. How would you feel if a bunch of people came on here and accused you of multi-accounting so we just went ahead and wiped your hard earned times? Wiping a player from the leaderboards is not something we take lightly.

If you feel an account is in breach of Microsoft's terms of service you can of course report the account to MS, I don't know what kind of resources they have to investigate those types of claims but I imagine they are greater than ours.

Yeah I see what your saying, and I completely get what you're saying but when somebody's account has 3 star rep and not even a year played with 400 gamerscore and its all for trials and it's been played for under ten hours then it's almost obvious when they're in the top 50.

Proto Mano is about to pass me and I'm 25th.

That isn't right. I've spent over 10 days in SP, and worked hard for my times.

It makes it feel like a waste, you know what I mean?

Trials was and always is my go to game. But when this happens it just makes it not that.

I know I'm not a top 5 rider. But it's obvious that somebody in the top 10 is multi accounting.

There aren't many people that can play for a day and have a top 25...........

And yeah I have reported the account, but Microsoft wouldn't know why or for what reason. I can't file a complaint on "Cheating" and have them guess for what game. And I'm almost sure they won't check it out because the account is so new.

It's a disappointment in the worst way.

A loophole that people are exploiting..

I myswell just join the group right? I mean if I make 20 accounts in the top 100 then eventually there will be a fixing right?

I'm just saying, it's a small problem now but what if it becomes bigger? Then you guys will remove scores.

It's sad to say that the problem can't be taken care of while it's small and the only solution is to make it bigger.

Or am I wrong?


I mean clearly that seems the only solution. And on the Snason subject, his score is obviously cheated his best rank is on Tribal Trouble and he's 12th, and I've been told he didn't even do that.

globalshockwave once had about 7 accounts in the top 10 of Technique on Trials HD, maybe thats a slight exaggeration but it was past ridiculous.
there was a bit of an uproar, lots of people including myself were angered by it etc... and a dev posted, not condoning it as such, but basically saying that it was no big deal and that he had earned those ranks by being better than everyone else - point being, no matter how bad multi-accounting gets, there will be no fix for it... so all we can do is try to contain it and not add to the problem.

I have a real problem with the people that do it, the idea of doing that just to piss everyone else off and ruin the leaderboards just infuriates me, so I feel your pain.
just try not to let a few pathetic people ruin your favourite game.

I thought what the dev said (can't remember who) was wrong anyway -It was compared to owning arcade machines by dominating a leaderboard with your top scores. I think this is ultimately fine because you'd have to pay for each game/score you'd put on an individual machine. However with trials you can do all that for free, which makes spamming leaderboards with multiple times (for me) a step too far in showing off your skills.

EL will surely remove your tracks with no proof of multiaccounting

Or with no denial of it if you are asked outright.

[rlmergeuser]

I'm just sayin

[Barrybarfly]

So am I. You make all these complaints about your track being removed and saying you never confirmed that you DID multi account. But you have also never denied that you did it. Makes you seem pretty guilty. After all, why wouldnt you say "No I have never multi accounted" if you havent?

Does Redlynx even know who they are???

If they do they should name n shame them atleast.

That might make them think twice about doing it.
